I also think that this stuff should not explode in a fire normally. Heat alone will not make it explode, there must be high pressure too. The fertilizer might explode if it is stored in a closed metal tank, but probably not if it is stored on a pile or in sacks. This would mean that they stored it in a dangerous way.

As far as I know AMS was built to look for antimatter, not for dark matter. The antimatter is just an explanation that they came up with to explain an excess of positrons. They were looking for anti-Helium to find out if there are larger amounts of antimatter somewhere in the universe.

Yeah, I don't know the numbers.
In Germany the sales for the Prius are really bad. If you drive so much through cities and want to save money you are thinking about public transport, not a hybrid. And I remember reading that the fuel efficiency of the Prius becomes horrible when you go fast on the Autobahn, since the engine is not built for high power.

Science may someday discover what faith has always known.
